With rising temperatures and soaring electricity costs, many homeowners are exploring solar energy as a sustainable solution. Installing solar panels to run a 1.5-ton air conditioner (AC) can significantly reduce energy expenses. Typically, a solar system with a capacity of 2.5 to 3 kilowatts is required to efficiently power a 1.5-ton AC along with additional household appliances.
How Many Solar Panels Are Needed?
To operate a 1.5-ton AC, a solar system generating about 2.5 kilowatts is necessary. This setup can support other devices like refrigerators and lights as well. If you choose standard 250-watt solar panels, around 10 panels will be needed. Alternatively, using more powerful 535-watt panels could reduce the requirement to just 5 panels, depending on available space and panel choice.
Cost of a 2.5 kW Solar System
The approximate cost for a 2.5 kW solar system is around ₹1.25 lakh. However, those who opt for an on-grid system under the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Free Electricity Scheme may qualify for a government subsidy of about ₹60,000. This brings the net installation cost down to approximately ₹65,000, making solar energy a financially viable and eco-friendly option for homeowners.
